Very bad service, treated like stupid tourists but we live here. Food was ok but not very special. Good gluten-free options. Happy to not take some bread at the beginning because you have to pay for it at the end. I will not come back.

We arrive at 6 pm for dinner. We did not receive our main course until 7:10, noting others seated after us were served before us. The pasta dishes were fine but it did cause us to rush our meal to catch an 8 pm show.

The restaurant was it usual friendly place and the staff are attentive, but we thought the standard of the food was not up to it's usual standard this time. We have visited here several times over the years and are always made to feel welcome.

I tried the Italian Cotto due to its proximity to the Old Vic theatre and was delighted by the great food and wine. It has a lovely friendly atmosphere and attentive staff...I'll be back!

Sehr grosse Auswahl an glutenfreien Produkten. Geschmacklich waren die Speisen hervorragend. Leider waren die Portionen ziemlich gross. Ich habe das Tiramisu als Dessert bestellt. Leider war es nicht wirklich lecker

Visit was quite disappointing after all the good reviews on TripAdvisor. Risotto had chillis and pancake was over cooked and glued to the plate. Coffee was nice!

A warm and friendly atmosphere with GREAT gluten free menu! And the non-GF is very tasty, too. Good wine selection. The gluten free bread is freshly baked and they have two kitchens to prevent contamination of gluten.

Top restaurant waar ook de Italiaan zelf graag komt. De eigenaar zelf is glutenvrij en alles op de kaart kan gekozen worden. De wijnkaart is schappelijk en laat je voor een goede fles rustig adviseren door de eigenaar.

We visited here last Thurs after stumbling across it via a Google search for an allergy friendly restaurant. We had a beautiful meal, the service was top notch by friendly staff who were very knowledgable re-safe foods for our multiple allergic son. The red wine we chose was delicious too (Rioja). We would highly recommend this restaurant.

Genuinely Italian, run casually & modestly but also skillfully by an Italian gentleman. Only the tomato sauce (perhps industrial) could be better prepared. Must go when you're around & have been fed up with pizzaxxxxss type of fake Italian pizzas&dishes.

Excellent range for gluten intolerance. 'Hidden' Charge for bread and olives but wasn't suprised. Staff really friendly. Food is pleasant enough but would probably only go again if with people with allergies.

We went to Cotto on March 11, 2016. We were visiting from the US and hosting English relatives. My son has cealic disease and Cotto handled GF food better than any place I've ever been. My son loved it and it was a highlight of our trip. Food, both gf and non-gf was great and service was fantastic.

Very good service however quality of food didn't meet our expectations. Plastic like polipo affogato in a heated shop bought tomato puree, and a £19 sward fish that lacked flavour. The pizza with homemade sausage was nice, not the best mozzarella but nice spicy and fenneley sausages. Great atmosphere and location.

It's a nice place, and the staff is very welcoming. Their pizzas are great! The wild mushroom risotto was a bit bland for me though, but it might just be due to my hungarian taste buds. :) )
